Eugenics

I personally believe we should be altering the environment instead.
What are your thoughts??
--------------------
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

Eugenics was proved as hokum long ago. Perpetuating a world war with Germany and Japan. Master race and such

If I were to have kids I would love to be able to prevent any very undesirable genetic traits. I'm too selfish to have kids but if I weren't that selfish then I would want thatoption.

I'm kind of drunk but the defenition of Eugenics on wikipedia sounds pretty intense... Lol
"Eugenics, the social movement claiming to improve the genetic features of human populations through selective breeding and sterilization, based on the idea that it is possible to distinguish between superior and inferior elements of society, played a significant role in the history and culture of the United States ..."
Are we talking about gene mutation or creating an aryan race?

Modern eugenics is little more than a cult of death with it's roots in racism and hatred.
Even if it has practical and much needed uses it will be irrelevant within the next 10 - 20 years and stuff like genetically modifying ourselves will be a far superior technology and the morality of the whole thing will be about religious ideals.

How about instead of genetically altering people why don't we focus more on improving what we already are? Example:bionic limbs etc. Augmentation.

That's all one big field of research isn't it? All of those things are coming straight out of the U.S. war-machine. Super soldier programs and all that...
Bionic limbs are pretty much already here
But with genetic engineering you could theoretically just grow him a new leg

I usually think "being able to prevent our children from having down syndrome or being ugly" when I think of eugenics. Not "creating a monotonous superior race". But of course the retarded motherfuckers among us will turn it into that and assume that's what we mean when actually maybe we just want to make sure our kids don't havhave the same genetic FLAWS that we personally have

Yep. That seemed to be the response when I made a similar eugenics thread several months ago.

People would rather obese fucks breed with obese fucks "because that's who they love" to make more obese women than making better partner selection. My guess is they must have better luck scoring with the obese women, so if they gotta have a fatty with poor genes then society should too.

the thread is about Eugenics...a very specific ideology and an ideology first and foremost, before it is scientific.
human augmentation...sure, that's worth discussing. NOT Eugenics. that's just horseshit.
am i the only one who can see the fucking difference?
and No, Qman, no, i don't give a fuck about that. first off: plenty of hot chicks already. just See the Shroomery.
and secondly: always eager to have sex? how shallow can one get? i have no interest in sex above the aspect of pleasuring my cock, pleasuring my ladies labial erm connections, and well,...that's the least interesting thing about a person to me, honestly. i'd rather go hiking...cook...discuss and converse...entertain and explore... call it research and development.
then sex. then rinse wash and repeat.
it's all frankly a bit overrated.

no. Eugenics is a very specific think that is essentially racist. gee, i thought the shroomery was about very specific dictionary definitions.
well, Eugenics specifies that certain people, whom are naturally flawed (as people are again SEE SHROOMERY), that they get stopped from reproducing.
freedom in the US, right? that's important, no? or is all that a blatant lie?

maybe in America you have a huge obesity problem...but the rest of the world don't really see too many societal problems with "fatties".

absolutely shallow. you realize there's no fucking way to do what you've just proposed? to alter the society at large in the way you wish to would actually involve sterilizing people with down-syndrome.

That isn't racism. It's producing a better offspring than you'd make with Betty by mating with Roberta.
I don't think better gene selection should be state-mandated or anything. I think it should be encouraged. Big difference.

oh i see what you're saying, you mean, "don't fuck Wendy, she's fucking no tits and kind of a horse face; no, go for Rebecca, she's sweet and hot, and pretty smart."
oh ok, gotchya.
but like i said; Eugenics, very specific definitions, (i thought that was a rule here, very specific definitions...oh but when it comes to something that matters, oh nevermind all that, lets change the definition)
(can't use words differently then what is expected but when it comes to entire ideologies, go right the fuck ahead and make up whatever definition you want. oh shroomery), i thought Eugenics meant, forced sterilization, genetic predispositions stopped dead in their tracks so that they do not quote un quote "infect" the rest of a "healthy society"?

conservatives are fine.
republicans...ehhh, i dunno if they've ever been able to think past their empty rhetoric and old adage of misapprehending the concept of truth, freedom ect ect
solo nation's under individual government, pooled together to presume the world works in one very narrow aspect of recovering 18th, 17th, 16th, century ways of life, expulsion of technology and of economic growth, and a willingness to serve only their own agenda while subjugating everyone else.

The work of Francis Galton has nothing to do with genocide and everything to do with creating a better family unit. He created the idea of eugenics, and it is in fact simply better gene selection.

Controlled breeding does not mean a lab. It means by controlling who you're breeding with by their traits.
I just quoted the dictionary definition, so bring it up with them if you think you have a more accurate one.

Akura I seriously want to murder you for pissing me off. Gimme an address I fucking dare you.
And what I meant was making sure that AN INDIVIDUAL doesn't pass their genetic flaws to their offspring. Why the fuck is that impossible even with genetic engineering? Not talking about an entire race being uniformly cleansed from a genetic flaws

I think it's generally a wrong-minded approach (even if you ignore the "forcing it on people against their will" aspect to some well-known past implementations.) I don't believe that an editorial board style approach to reducing genetic diversity would be making our species stronger anyway. Even genes that appear "bad" to us now may eventually be modified through mutation into something we would have thought was "good." There really is no way to foresee every possible way that a gene could transform into a useful one in the future, and IMO believing otherwise is arrogant and unscientific.
For an extreme example look at cheetahs. They have "the best" genes in the sense that they are really really good at some task (chasing animals down at high speed.) They are also incredibly inbred because of a past extreme bottleneck where only a handful of individuals survived. The genes that they lost in that near-extinction event are unrecoverable, and they likely will go extinct before achieving a similar degree of genetic diversity again by random mutation.
Let's assume that cheetahs do not go extinct though, and that the process to recovery is overseen by some editorial board who ensures the removal of every "bad" gene that arises through random mutation (the vast majority of mutated genes.) This pre-emptive "help" actually is preventing the later creation of "good" genes from that pool of diversity consisting of "bad" ones. And that's why I think the idea that reducing our gene pool in order to "improve" our species is idiotic and short-sighted.

threatening me with an actual accusation that you'll murder me? nice.

PS: what you're suggesting is impossible. sperm then ovum then genes.
you can't splice into that and change anything before the specimen (in this case) is already in development in the womb. retard.

I'm talking about altering genomes in the sperm and eggs beforehand. And there's no possibility that technology can ever decrease the uncertainty that everything will "go right" when the sperm and egg genomes are creating a new genome? Technology will never be able to increase the stability of this process? I think that is quite narrow minded quite frankly!
And you are arguing with a mentally unstable person to completely honest. I'm over my rage already

No. It means controlling who gets to breed. You just said not allowing conservatives to breed is eugenics.
I don't support not allowing conservatives to breed. I support people making decisions on who they breed with based on the traits they want, not based on silly emotional lovey-dovey stuff that gives your kid bad genes.

In short, he (along with many eugenics advocates) worked for the British establishment out of Cambridge in the early 1900's, involved in the infancy of modern British intelligence and British mind control projects, had a hand in the Fabian Society with the founders of Planned Parenthood. Great friends with the British Aristocracy and banking families, which funded this particular groups work, which preceded the Nazis, that's where they got all their ideas about eugenics from, of course it was influenced by the SS and their Germanic neo-paganism but this where they got the basics from. Same people that created him and everyone in that circle also created the Nazis.

Eugenics is just as much about making sure the wrong people don't breed as it is about making sure the right people do.

It was an anti human agenda masquerading as "good" racial supremacy. It was first beta-tested on the Irish, and was planned to be used as a tool for expanding the British empire, later passed on to the Nazis where it fit better and worked quite well. You are severely misinformed.

good.
how are you gonna change the genomics of the sperm? how do you introduce a technologically superior spermatozoa into an egg and have it fertilize?
you realize how difficult it'd be to even pull that off. you'd have to rich twice over, with presumable more attempts than one, to pull that off. the best bet you know is with like fucking nanomachines, which is it's own ethical dilemma and also again WAY too expensive to even imagine...let alone the fact that we're talking science fiction here, i mean, in terms of the future, in terms of we're talking about something that cannot be done yet. 
and then there are the difficulties that Psi postulated earlier in the thread, which was duly ignored.
how do you wrap all that up in a neat little bow?

yes, which is perfectly fine...you want to see information on applicants for sperm donation? that's WAY different, though, eh? 
but yep, you're correct. BTW +1

he was making a point. he wasn't suggesting that what he said there was what he believed should be the case.
he was pointing out the inherent dangerousness of the Eugenicist's dilemma. at least, i'm pretty sure.

It's hard to tell sometimes on here. I took his comments as being in support of eugenics though. I thought I remembered him saying similar on other threads as well.

other people wish they could genetically eliminate what they don't like...koods is suggesting that if he was in favor of Eugenics, that'd it be conservatives he'd get rid of, diametrically opposed to the usual person in favor of such tactics such as Eugenics to rid the world of whom they find as troublesome.
or something like that.

DMT seems to think eugenics is all about beautiful people making babies but in reality it's also about making sure "undesirables" don't spread their inferior genes.

Not arguing about how long it will take for designer babies to really be realistic. But why the fuck do you guys have the right to tell two parents that they can't..assuming this were possible at the time..have designer babies if they wanted to? It would be their bodies and their babies RIGHT?

I was hoping someone would say that exact argument.
I would rather have been born taller and without mild autism and with non balding hair. Because I'm not a designer babiebaby, I'm stuck with those three primary genetic flaws. Honestly I have no other significant genetic flaws

you wouldn't be you then. also, no one said that going through a process of selecting whom you procreate with or who's sperm donation you take was a wrong.
just that eugenics is wrong, and that genetically altering a child from before the womb is impossible.
